How do you find a triped circuit?
Check the circuit panel / breaker box. The tripped breaker should be partway between 'OFF' and 'ON'. If nothing else, turn the breakers off then on, one at a time and when the tripped breaker is reset, the circuit should be live again. Also check GFI outlets. If one is in fault condition, it will need to be reset. If the tripped GFI outlet is protecting other outlets, they will come back when the tripped GFI is reset. These sockets seem to hide in many cases... Behind microwave ovens for example or refrigerators.
How do you know if the circuit breakers are damaged when an electrical shock just happened?
If you suspect the circuit breakers are damaged after an electrical shock, look for signs like physical damage, a tripped breaker that can't be reset, or burn marks/smoke near the breaker. Additionally, check for any unusual sounds, such as buzzing or crackling, coming from the breaker panel. It's essential to have a qualified electrician inspect and repair any damaged circuit breakers to ensure electrical safety.
The electrical Breaker will not reset?
To reset a breaker move the handle completely to the off position. If it had tripped you will feel a little resistance as it goes to the off position. If this doesn't restore the power the breaker is either bad and in need of replacement, or there is a persistent fault in the circuit causing the breaker to immediately re-trip. Breakers are safety devices.
Do some electrical breakers when they are tripped go into the off position instead of the normal tripped position I have a cutler hammer breaker that tripped but is in the off position?
Yes, some electrical breakers can move to the off position when they trip. This is a safety feature to indicate that the circuit is no longer functional. To reset the breaker, switch it back to the on position, then to the off position before resetting it to on. If the breaker continues to trip, there may be an underlying issue in the circuit that needs to be addressed.
What does the red line on the breaker box mean?
If you are talking about the breakers inside the box (switches) it means that particular circuit exceeded it's limit in amperage and "tripped" the circuit breaker. This most often occurs when you have started an appliance or some electric apparatus. So first you must unplug whatever you suspect caused the breaker to trip and then "reset" the breaker by flipping it all the way to off then back to on. The red line should be gone. Try whatever you initially plugged in when it tripped and see if it functions normally. If it trips again you should call a licensed electrician to trouble shoot that circuit.
